Aims. Achieving accurate implant positioning and restoring native hip biomechanics are key surgeon-controlled technical objectives in
Aims. A significant reduction in wear at five and ten years was previously reported when comparing Durasul highly cross-linked polyethylene with nitrogen-sterilized Sulene polyethylene in
Aims. Conventional patient-reported surveys, used for patients undergoing
Aims. This study aimed to describe practice variation in the use of
Aims. Professional dancers represent a unique patient population in the setting of hip arthroplasty, given the high degree of hip strength and mobility required by their profession. We sought to determine the clinical outcomes and ability to return to professional dance after
Aims. Postoperative length of stay (LOS) and discharge dispositions following arthroplasty can be used as surrogate measurements for improvements in patients’ pathways and costs. With the increasing use of robotic technology in arthroplasty, it is important to assess its impact on LOS. The aim of this study was to identify factors associated with decreased LOS following robotic arm-assisted
Aims. The aim of this study was to evaluate the reliability and validity of a patient-specific algorithm which we developed for predicting changes in sagittal pelvic tilt after
Aims. Excessive posterior pelvic tilt (PT) may increase the risk of anterior instability after
Aims. Mechanical impingement of the iliopsoas (IP) tendon accounts for 2% to 6% of persistent postoperative pain after
Aims.
Aims. Osteoporosis can determine surgical strategy for
Aims. We aimed to evaluate the long-term outcome of highly cross-linked polyethylene (HXLPE) cemented acetabular components and assess whether any radiolucent lines (RLLs) which arose were progressive. Methods. We retrospectively reviewed 170 patients who underwent 187
Aims. Surgery is often delayed in patients who sustain a hip fracture and are treated with a
Aims. Although CT is considered the benchmark to measure femoral version, 3D biplanar radiography (hipEOS) has recently emerged as a possible alternative with reduced exposure to ionizing radiation and shorter examination time. The aim of our study was to evaluate femoral stem version in postoperative

Aims. Spinopelvic mobility plays an important role in functional acetabular component position following
Aims. Pelvic incidence (PI) is a position-independent spinopelvic parameter traditionally used by spinal surgeons to determine spinal alignment. Its relevance to the arthroplasty surgeon in assessing patient risk for
Aims. Lateral femoral cutaneous nerve (LFCN) injury is a potential complication after the direct anterior approach for
Aims. This study aimed to use intraoperative free electromyography to examine how the placement of a retractor at different positions along the anterior acetabular wall may affect the femoral nerve during
